The "Antonio Tamburini" category should be removed from this photo. It is assuredly not of the Italian baritone opera singer Antonio Tamburini. Tamburini had much broader and rounder features, would have been much older looking in the period of this photo, and even in his younger days had a pronounced receding hairline. There are, as far as I'm aware, two photographs of the real Antonio Tamburini—one from this period, probably by Disderi—where he has a top hat in hand, is of significantly heavier build, and is sporting his signature mutton-chop sideburns. --Trrill (talk) 14:11, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
